I'd appreciate it if people stopped using "Jews," "Hebrews," and "Israelites" interchangeably.

I think that there are Egyptian account as well.

I am not trying to win or lose, and prove a point. Instead I am trying to learn about what happened.

There are only two things that i am certain of.
1. Egyptian did not use slaves to build the pyrmaids,but they did use slaves for other things.
2. There was a large jewish population that lived in egypt, and many of them stayed even after moses.
3. Some or just two pharoh's may have envyied the jews.

The Bible never said anything about the Pyramids (which were there long before the usual dates for the Exodus).  It says the Hebrews (not Jews, stop doing that), built the great storehouses of Pithom and Rameses.  Whether or not that's true is a different question, but they certainly didn't build Giza.

I haven't done the research, so I don't want to shoot my mouth off, but the opinion seems to be shifting to the notion that a bunch of prominent Israelites had come from an Egyptian background and assimilated into the local Israelite tribes, who adopted their story as their own.  Hence the ridiculously gory invasion stories.
